Maceface's Crimewave Range (20mm) WIP

[Maceface]

Hi Lead 'eads, over the last few years I've been dreaming up a Cyberpunk / Dystopia / 80s-2000s / Dark Future setting, with a model range in 20mm*.

Designed to be Compatible with Gaslands, Dark Future, RPGs (the 20mm* size is pretty nice for gridded maps and loads of civilians...)

Here are the first two test models I made, but many more are in the wings to be shown off soon :-)

Will aim to cover Police, Thugs, Mercs, Scavengers, Civilians, Cyberpunk Runners, Raiders and many more...

Let me know if this is something of interest!

*20mm is aprox 23-24mm to top of head usually, maybe absolutely max 25mm, also known as 1/72

[Pattus Magnus]

Those look really good! Gaslands is the only game I have that they would fit with, but I will probably figure out some way to shoehorn them into my collection when they are released. I?m looking forward to seeing more figures in this line!

[Maceface]

Cheers! I'll be aiming to eventually write some rules,  or fit to the usual ospreys, necromunda, reality edge etc.

Cyberpunk at 20mm would work really well since the terrain isn't as gigantic, and you can get multibased civilians walking around!

[Chief Lackey Rich]

They look nice, but very much not my scale.  I do know someone who prefers it though. so I'll pass this along.

[Talysman]

These are nice! Not necessarily my genre or scale, but they look very good!

[swiftnick]

Yes please!

They are beautiful and presumably a big upside is they are basically compatible with Matchbox scale cars etc?

Hence the specific callout for both Gaslands and Dark Future.

Those are really nice, great paint job too.

Do you  have anything similar in mind for 28mm?

Thankyou!

I really want to explore the 20mm scale to tie in with the hotwheels, matchbox cars, and smaller footprint buildings, but you never know, I may resculpt the best ideas in 28mm.

Role-playing guys should really have a look at 20mm, as the space needed for throwaway minis is far less too. Cyberpunk warehouse skirmishes become quite doable on an A3 piece of paper etc.

I?m 100% in for this. A Post Apoc setting (set in an alternate 1998) using the Dark Future and Gaslands models is my largest hobby project. Heck, see my profile pic. I?ve been playing Gaslands with em, using home brewed rules for models on foot but am about to start playing Xenos Rampant. This scale is perfect for using with toy cars so these two games are a great fit.

I?ve got all the Gaslands figs, have collected most of the Dark Future ones, and have supplemented the project with Elheim and red box 1/72 stalkers, zombies and survivors. Here?s a preview of some of the models in the gangs of my collection.

I?d love to add these figs to my collection just let me know when they become available!

Plenty of figures available in 28mm so really looking forward to seeing more in 20mm. Used to play Necromunda using 20mm figs. These chappies are just the thing to give me a jump start and dig out my stuff again.

[Mr. White]

Exactly this ^ .

There?s no shortage of options for models of this sort at 28mm. There?s even a line from Copplestone under the Future Wars banner.

20mm is underserved, but as the posts here mention, is really the ideal scale if one also wants vehicles involved. With the metal Dark Future and Copplestone Gaslands there?s a solid seed to grow from. These models from Maceface would be a welcome addition and add to a niche, but very solid line of figs.

I do my SciFi RPG with 20mm minis.

Mainly Dark Future, Elheim and Gaslands for humans though there's a scatter of other manufacturers 20mm stuff too.

On the evidence of the two minis shown here I'd definitely be interested .... providing I'm not going to need to sell a kidney to get them delivered!

I don't know if anyone else feels the same but one thing I am woefully short of is suitable civilians.

Traders in illicit goods

Corporate types with laptop equivalents or briefcases rather than armed to the teeth.
Crime Kingpins who rely on minions to do the actual fighting.
Mum, Dad and the kids to be kidnapped, rescued or collateral damage.
Passengers, customers and officials.

Perhaps that's just me.

[swiftnick]

Yes to all of the above!
Characters and NPC's in non combat poses.
